Types of shoes - classification in pictures
Fashion dictates trends and tendencies and there are so many shoe names that it’s not surprising to confuse something! It is especially difficult to navigate and distinguish between types of shoes in English.
Let's try to cover at least some types and classifications. Signs of classification vary: season, material of manufacture, who wears it, etc.
Initially, the classification is simple: women's and men's, seasonal (summer, winter, autumn, spring,) demi-season.
Seasonal shoes are logically divided into 4 seasons. Demi-season shoes includes two periods: autumn-winter and spring-summer. We choose demi-season shoes when we need to smoothly transition from autumn to winter shoes, from winter to spring, and from spring to summer. These are exactly the shoes that are chosen not specifically according to the time of year, but according to weather conditions.
There is also a simple classification into women's and men's shoes, leather and non-leather. Of course, it is not possible to cover all types of shoes and their names and classifications. But we will try to know the basics.
You can write a lot about these classifications and subtypes. But I would like to touch upon the topic of incomprehensible words and names in just a few words.

Classification and types of men's shoes in pictures
I will most likely devote a separate topic to this, but in this post I want to show you a schematic division of men's shoes!
Many people consider stilettos to be a symbol of femininity and grace. But shoes with thick soles are not perceived so clearly, since at first glance they may seem rough and overly massive.
However, designers create a wide variety of shoe models, so women's shoes with thick soles are gaining more and more fans.
If you look at the photo various models shoes with thick soles, we can conclude that the whole variety can be divided into two groups. These are shoes with solid wide soles and shoes with thick soles and heels.
Solid sole
These fashionable shoes with thick soles can look either very restrained or very shocking. Everything will depend on the thickness of the platform.
One of the types of shoes with thick solid soles are creepers (they are also called creepers or flatforms). Initially, these were shoes for the military, but later they gained the sympathy of the civilian population.
The fashion for creepers first spread in the 50s with the advent of the first youth subcultures, but real popularity for these shoes came only 20 years later, when the subcultures spread throughout the world.
Nowadays, creepers are worn not only by followers of the rocker movement or goths, but also by ordinary people. Creepers are produced in different versions. The sole can be rubber or polymer; sometimes it matches the color of the top of the shoes, but more often it is contrasting. The most popular option is shoes with white thick soles.
The top of the shoes can be made in the form of boots, that is, have lacing. But summer shoes with thick soles are represented by sandals with wide straps and slip-ons. Last option- These are textile or leather shoes with thick soles without fasteners. To make them easier to put on, they have elastic inserts in the front.
Solid sole and heel
For all their convenience, creepers are, first of all, youth models. For middle aged ladies and overweight women shoes with thick soles combined with a heel are more suitable.
These can be shoes with embossed soles and thick heels, or very elegant shoes with a platform combined with a stiletto heel. If the first shoe option is more suitable for creating everyday looks, then models with platforms and stiletto heels are shoes primarily for the evening.
What to combine with?
Since shoes with thick soles look different, it is impossible to answer the question of what to wear such shoes with. Everything will depend on the style of the shoes and the height of the sole.
Creepers
If a girl plans to wear creepers, then she must remember that these shoes will be the main accent in the image. Therefore, there should not be any active items (large jewelry, wide decorated belts, etc.) in the bow.
What do these shoes go with? There are many options, these are:
- skinny jeans or ankle-length trousers combined with a voluminous top. You can wear a loose sweater or sweatshirt. Or you can choose a tight top and an oversized jacket;
- shoes with thick soles look good and skirt, especially if it is a straight model made of leather or denim, which should also be combined with a voluminous top;
- shorts or cropped denim overalls;
- you can combine creepers with feminine chiffon skirts, but you will need to choose the right accessories for the ensemble. You will get an extraordinary look if you pair your ensemble with a wide-brimmed hat, Gothic-style jewelry and a backpack bag;
- Another feminine look can be created by wearing short dark blue baby-doll dress and blue denim jacket to the waist. The ensemble will be complemented by black shoes with thick soles with laces, white socks and a men's style hat in the color of the shoes.
Creepers are especially relevant in cool weather, in fact, these are quite practical women's autumn shoes with thick soles, since they are very comfortable to “splash” through puddles without fear of getting your feet wet. In autumn, shoes are worn with skinny jeans, a straight-cut coat or a leather jacket. You can tie a voluminous scarf around your neck and put a knitted cap on your head.
Slip-ons
This type of shoes is comfortable; they are, in principle, similar to house slippers. Therefore, you should wear them with simple but comfortable things.
These could be:
- boyfriend jeans, including ripped ones, with rolled up legs;
- distressed cropped skinnies;
- trousers of a non-classical cut, they should be shortened or with rolled-up legs;
- overalls of various cuts made of denim or leather.
The top of the ensemble in this case can be represented by a loose T-shirt, a sweatshirt, a jacket or a non-classical jacket.
Slip-ons look good with skirts of various styles; they can be worn with a flared mini skirt or with a straight knee-length model. A comfortable and stylish ensemble will be made with slip-ons and a shirt dress. Moreover, the dress can have different lengths from mini to ankle length.
Shoes with thick soles and square heels
This type of shoe goes well with almost all casual clothing. Open models can be worn with summer dresses, sundresses, shorts, closed models can be worn with jeans, trousers and straight coats or jackets.
You can wear patent leather shoes with thick soles with a business trouser suit of a classic cut. This ensemble fits perfectly into a business casual style, and can be worn to work if the dress code requirements are not too strict.
Skinny jeans look great with these shoes; you can wear a turtleneck and vest or a sweater and jacket as the top of the ensemble. In summer, open shoes can be combined with fitted dresses with moderately full short skirts. But this option is suitable only for slender girls.
For ladies with curves, it is better to wear shoes with thick soles and square heels with a long dress made of flowing fabric.
Shoes with thick soles combined with stiletto heels
This type of shoe is perfect for evening looks, since, unlike all the models described above, they look elegant. However, such shoes will look no less attractive with cropped jeans that reveal the ankles.
You should choose shoes depending on the upcoming event. For an official reception, a model of a laconic silhouette, with a flat platform, without decorations, is suitable. Shoes with a figured platform or models decorated with spikes are perfect for a youth party.
For a casual look, you can choose bright shoes or fashionable models with prints today. In this case, you need to choose plain clothes with a laconic cut.
Brands
Models with thick soles can be seen in the latest collections of fashion designers. Thus, the Calvin Klein brand presents snow-white solid creepers, decorated with yellow metal chains, as well as models with a bright floral print on thick white soles.
The fashion house Fendi offers fashionistas open shoes without backs on a thick flat platform. Similar models with a raised platform can be seen in the Alena Akhmadullina collection.
Red and blue metallic pumps from Marc Jacobs will appeal to lovers bright images. These models have a thick sole, a square heel and fixing straps at the instep.

In the 2016/2017 season, the fashion for chunky shoes, which had long been considered the exclusive prerogative of youth, returned. In addition to the already familiar autumn low shoes with thick soles, comfortable loafers have acquired a perfect complement to the pajama style, elegant sandals, sandals, classic shoes, and ethnic clogs. Who is it suitable for? new trend?
What are thick-soled shoes called?
Considering that current trends It allows you to make women's boots and slippers look massive; it has many names. If you need to enter a query to find a suitable option, indicate the category you are looking for (for example, ankle boots), adding “wedge.” In most cases, manufacturers label their products this way, so you can't go wrong. The fashion industry distinguishes several main groups of women's shoes:
- The very first boots with thick, solid, embossed soles, which were originally men's, and then became part of the unisex category - ankle boots. Rough army shoes, which are leather boots with laces, a boot to mid-calf.
- Sneakers - reminiscent of classic sneakers, but with a high top (completely covers the ankle), thick sole, lacing or Velcro. They are found in youth subcultures and are characteristic of the hip-hop style. Shoes of the "unisex" category are semi-sports type; they are a frequent guest in women's wardrobes because of their convenience.
- Creepers are another version of popular sneakers that have a massive rubber sole, the height of which is comparable to a good heel: sometimes it reaches 10 cm. The ancestor of creepers were the already mentioned ankle boots, although visually it is difficult to correlate them with each other.
- Sandals and sandals with thick soles - clogs, clogs - are returning to modern fashion. Wooden or cork wedge, thick heel or flat solid solid “foot”, natural fabric or leather upper.
What to wear with thick-soled boots
The rest of your ensemble depends on what shoes you decide to wear and what look you want to create. Classic wedge shoes can even be combined with a business style with a pencil skirt without violating the dress code. However, you won’t be able to wear light youth sneakers to the office, unless the bosses turn a blind eye to appearance employees. What to combine with such informal shoes?
- Women's demi-season boots with thick soles, similar to ankle boots, are often worn with trousers or jeans that hide the boot. Universal options- made of matte leather with a round toe and high heels - suitable for skirts, but there is an important condition: the shoes should not dangle on the leg. If the top is too wide for you, you can wear knitted leg warmers over the boots.
- Summer massive clogs and clogs, with high heels, thick, heavy soles, will be ideally combined with sundresses, long dresses made of natural materials. Most models of such women's shoes are made in natural colors: brown, sand, beige. It’s interesting that clogs will look great with skinny jeans.
- Creepers - semi-sports women's boots with thick soles - require an impeccable sense of style. They will look unusual and catchy with a checkered pajama-type trouser suit; an even more original look will be created with an A-line guipure dress and a denim jacket. Are you afraid of making a mistake or being the center of attention? Wear long shorts and an oversized T-shirt.
- I loved Snickers so much modern designers that they have almost nothing in common with sports shoes. These unusual women's boots with thick soles can be worn with a standard jeans and T-shirt combination or for a romantic look with a long dress. Celebrities even wear sneakers on the red carpet.
Fashionable boots with thick soles for women
In the 2016/2017 season special attention the designers paid attention to clogs, which received several bright colors, sneakers of all types and styles, and classic women's boots with a round toe, complemented by a textured thick sole. The mix of non-standard and feminine caused heated discussions. Choose from this variety ideal option It’s not easy – you want to add everything to your wardrobe.
Patent leather platform boots
This group is represented mainly by ankle boots, which every girl needs, or oxfords with a massive sole. The method of wearing and the effect depends on the specific shoe option:
- Classic models of boots with narrow stiletto heels have a low shaft, but look very elegant and can be worn even with thick tights and a knitted noodle dress. Owners of long legs in such shoes will look like models from a glossy cover, no matter what they are combined with.
- Oxford boots in patent leather look massive and catchy, suitable for girls of large build and tall stature. In a neutral color they can accompany a classic ensemble of trousers and a shirt; in a bright color they will require jeans and a hoodie.
Leather
The option is almost universal in every sense: matte skin is less finicky when it comes to caring for it, adapts more easily to the rest of your wardrobe, and is not conspicuous. The following options are possible:
- Slip-ons with chunky soles are almost home slippers that fit perfectly into street style. Leggings or skinny jeans, a T-shirt with a bright print, and a khaki parka are the best friends of such shoes.
- Leather ankle boots or low shoes with embossed soles are found in the winter collections of brands of all categories: from mass market to luxury. They look good with any outerwear, excluding long mink coats, which belong to the classic style.
- Stylish leather loafers with thick rubber soles pair interestingly with cropped, rolled-up jeans and shorts without weighing them down. bottom part. Connoisseurs of a non-standard look combine them with cotton blouses, long jackets, and shirt dresses.
With heel
If you are looking for neat women's low shoes with thick soles that will not make your look rough, will not weigh down the lower part unnecessarily, and will not create the effect of a non-standard style, turn to models with heels. It is often tall and thick, very stable, and there are no problems with wearing comfort in such shoes. Among sandals with chunky soles, those with heels are also recognized as the most feminine, regardless of their shape.
Where to buy and how much do high-soled shoes cost?
The price depends on the promotion of the brand and the season in which the product is planned to be worn. Women's wedge sandals can be found for 2000-2500 rubles. mass-market brands have demi-season models - Snickers, Creepers, etc. – for 3000-4000 rub.

Summer
Good afternoon, if you have come to this page, then you need to know all the names of modern shoes... so that you are no longer confused about their types and do not doubt the name of what you are wearing at the moment. Apparently the other day someone called your moccasins incomprehensible word LOAFERS, and sports slippers, which have served you faithfully for the second season, unexpectedly turned out to be SLIP-ONS. And you are determined to clarify the situation about what all these MODERN FOOTWEAR are called... In this article I have collected in pictures all the names and all types of shoes - now you can confidently distinguish DERBY boots from OXFORD, and you will never confuse LOAFERS with SLIPPERS.
So welcome to the world modern species shoes and their English names, which entered the fashionable vocabulary of the Russian people.
Let's start with the types of shoes flat... let's move on smoothly to boots and all their types... and we’ll finish women's shoes(yes, yes, there will be Louboutins too).
The names that we will analyze are equally present in both types of women's shoes and men's models. That is, for each variety on the list there are women's and men's styles. Therefore, today you will learn not only to understand women’s shoes, but also in a men’s store you will be able to show off your erudition.
Types of shoes with FLAT SOLES
(modern names for shoes)
Let's start our list of shoes. All names will have pictures and explanations of the characteristic difference between this species and all others.
The first name is beautiful with the taste of aircraft - ESPADRILLES (just like a flying squadron). Let's take a closer look at this type of shoe.
Espadrilles are a type of shoe that is distinguished by a woven sole and a natural (usually textile) upper material.
Where did it come from - these shoes were originally invented by the Spaniards. They wove the sole from rope grass and made the top from cheap jute material. Due to their natural nature, such shoes were pleasant for the feet in hot, stuffy weather. Very quickly, these shoes began to be worn not only by poor Spaniards, but also by all of glamorous Europe.
The next shoe name is SLIP-ONS They also gave me soft and comfortable textile slippers. But they are very different from espadrilles; just look at their appearance and find the differences.
Slip-ons- these are shoes with soft sports soles, polished made of textiles. A characteristic feature Slip-ons are made with a slightly protruding tongue and an elastic band next to the tongue. This type of shoe is worn with sportswear, with jeans of all styles from skinny to boyfriend. Slip-ons in delicate colors look just as appropriate with summer daytime dresses. The picture below shows that this type of shoe is often made not only from breathable textiles, but also from leatherette leather with various fashionable textures (snake or crocodile).
Very often, slip-ons are given the name of another type of shoe: SLIPERS (they are really similar). Let's figure out the difference between sleepers and slip-ons.
Sleepers - similar to slip-ons only the shape of the tongue– but they differ from them, firstly, in the absence of an elastic band and a hard sole (see picture below). And also the material from which they are made (sleepers are often made from smooth non-textile materials). Sole This type of shoe is the same as flat pumps. Spout shape slightly pointed, with graceful roundness. And in the place where the slip-ons have an elastic band sewn into them, the slip-ons simply empty cut.
Now let's get acquainted with such a shoe name as LOAFERS . A beautiful, elegant model of women's shoes and a stylish style of men's shoes to go with skinny trousers.
Loafers are easy to distinguish from moccasins and sleepers - all loafers have jumper on the toe(just on top of the tongue) Loafers are often decorated with tassels or small metal buckles on the jumper strap.
Loafers – originate in Norway of the last century (they were worn as house shoes and had a soft sole. The new sound of the loafer was brought by the fashion house Gucci - they gave loafers a hard sole and a gold bridge on the toe. The popularity of loafers was brought from the first users - John Kennedy, Grace Kelly , Michael Jackson - how can a mere mortal resist and not buy himself a similar type of shoes (at least get closer to the greats).
The name MOCASSINS is familiar to us from childhood, and here we consider them only to identify their differences from loafers and boat shoes. Now we will compare this type of shoe with its brothers in cut.
Moccasin- moccasins are the name of the shoes that the Indians gave us. Moccasins have U-shaped stitched spout with a convex raised seam. This is a true moccasin cut. Although sometimes a jumper (a strip of leather) is sewn over the tongue of a moccasin and then the moccasins take on the characteristics of loafers... and the controversial question arises: are we wearing loafers or moccasins on our feet. This is such fun))) - you can argue and even fight.
The next name for shoes similar in cut to moccasins is TOPSIDERS - most often these are men's shoes, although they are also found on women (but rarely).
Dockside– Topsiders are cut like moccasins. Distinctive feature This type of shoe lies in its sailor flavor - a decorative lace runs along the upper edge of the shoe. They are distinguished by a cord running along the top of the shoe, which serves as a decoration (like the lace in the collar of an English sailor).
It's funny that their names in English (docksiders) and in Russian (topsiders) are different. In Russia, they are called topsiders after the name of the company Sperry Top-Sider, which invented them in 1935. This type of shoe was specifically designed for sailing yachts - the ribbed sole prevents slipping on the smooth deck, and beige or white soles (unlike black ones) do not leave marks on expensive deck flooring.
The next type of shoes is MONKS more often found in men's collections, although women's versions of a similar design can also be found in fashionable looks. Let's look at this type of modern shoe.
Monkey- a type of shoe that distinguishes presence of a strap with a buckle– sometimes one, more often two at once. The height of the monks is no higher than the ankle (this is how they differ from this type of shoe such as COSSACKS)
The name of this type of shoe comes from the English word MONK “monk”. It was the monks back in the 11th century who came up with the idea of wearing such simple shoes with a fastener in the form of a wide strap and buckle. It was very convenient to take them off and put them on without getting tangled in the laces, which were clogged with dirt. Poor monks made such shoes not from leather, but from coarse textiles. And in the modern world, this shoe design is made from expensive, high-quality, smooth, shiny leather.
TYPES OF LACE-UP SHOES
(oxford boots, derby boots, brogues, desert boots)
But the type of boots that everyone knows - and everyone calls them OXFORD - once they fell in love with Oxford youth and with their light hand, that is, their feet, they became popular and spread throughout the honest world.
Oxfords differ from all other similar types of boots in that LACE BOARDS are sewn with their lower edges into the toe part shoe. That is, in fact, the lacing of this type of shoe performs a decorative function; it does not particularly widen the toe when unlaced. By the way, the correct lacing on Oxford shoes is considered to be the one where the lace lines run in neat parallel stripes (and not as in the picture above). The photos below show us that in the modern world the design of Oxford shoes can be the most imaginative and even freaky.
Here are the DERBY boots - a type of shoe that is often confused with OXFORD shoes. But they have one very obvious difference.
In DERBY boots the sides are sewn on top of the main part of the boot. And therefore, with the laces untied, these sides can bend freely (flop like ears). And if you remember, in Oxford shoes, opposite the sidewall, the lacing part is tightly sewn into the toe of the shoe and cannot bend and is even difficult to move apart. They less formal than Oxfords, and therefore they can be worn not only with trousers, but also with jeans and corduroy pants, with chinos, etc.
You probably noticed that many of the boots presented have perforation in the form of holes for airing your feet in hot weather. For this type of shoe with holes, a special name was invented - these boots are called BROGS.
Where did brogue boots come from?– it is believed that this type of shoe has Scottish roots. It was there that the Scots, suffering from wet boots, grazed their cattle in the tall and wet grasses. Before the boots had time to dry overnight, they again had to drive the cattle out to pasture and put on disgusting damp shoes. That's why the idea arose to make holes in the boots to quickly air and dry them.
Brogues are a type of shoe ideal for trousers made of cotton or linen fabric, for chinos, for corduroy pants and elastic sports pants. As you can see in the picture below, brogue boots can have a design like oxfords and like derbies.
The next type of shoes on our list is DESERT. They got their name from the word desert. These were the boots worn by the British military in Egypt. The hot sand did not get hot on the heels thanks to the thick sole, and the soft leather allowed the feet to feel comfortable and comfortable. When the war ended, the remains of the uniform went on free sale and were loved by the entire civilian population of England.
A distinctive feature of DESERT is their thickened sole and soft, often suede leather and a very small number of holes for lacing. Women's versions of these boots are often placed on the heel and have a more sophisticated toe.
And in their cut they are very similar to the next type of CHUKKA shoes . In fact, deserts are one of the types of chukka boots. Let's look at this type of shoe, very beautiful and laconic in its meager, ascetic lacing and the simplicity of its laconic, smooth cut.
CHUKKA (or chakka) boots are more different from desert boots free cut range- it is allowed from higher sides... and more holes for lacing are allowed - not two, but three. And the material for this type of shoe no longer has to be suede - even smooth patent leather is welcome.
TYPES OF HIGH BOOTS
(Chelsea, Timberlands, Dr. Martins, Snickers)
Now the turn has come to high boots and the first on this list of styles are smooth and minimalistic in its design CHELSEA BOOTS. They are often found in both men's and women's shoes. I will specifically write an article about what you can wear with such fashionable and incredibly comfortable boots for women.
Chelsea boots– Chelsea boots do not have any decorative elements- no buckles, no laces. They are laconic in their cut and their beauty lies in their pure radiance and flawless smoothness. They have a side slit on both sides, into which an elastic band is inserted, for ease of dressing.
Fashion houses often play with this laconic style of women's shoes, giving it various additions in the form of a heel (as in the photo below) or perforation and a cut without elastic.
High boots in military style, which our people also like to call boots or army boots, in the states they call it DOCTOR MARTINS.
Dr. Martens– this type of shoe is decorated with high lacing up to the very top of the shoe. They have high-quality soles with deep treads, which makes them comfortable shoes for dirty off-season and slippery winter.
Designers love to play with heavy combat boots by adding oxford-inspired designs, BROGG-like perforations, or thin wedges (see photo below).
Timberland boots TIMBERLANDS - translated it sounds like forester boots. They are distinguished from other lace-up boots by their height just above the ankle and the velvety surface of the material from which they are sewn.
These boots became popular cheerful mustard color- such color scheme turned out to be fateful for the popularization of this type of footwear. Now this color is considered classic color TIMBERLANDS. The design feature of these boots is their ability to bend with the fur outward.
Well, it’s finally time for the chocolate-named beaters. SNICKERS - got their name from the word “sneak” - the soft, silent sole of this type of shoe allows you to sneak up silently.
Sneakers are similar to sports shoes - due to the flexible rubber sole and the cut, similar to sneakers with Velcro or laces. These shoes were originally used on the tennis courts- and now it has been raised to a high platform and even a wedge for the lovely ladies who have long dreamed of sneakers with heels.
This is the journey we took today into the world of names for shoes. Now you feel like an expert on the most different types shoes... and are well versed in all types of lace-up boots. Now you can instructively comment on fashion articles on fashion blogs and correct the careless scribblers who called the Derby an Oxford shoe.
And that's not all...
